June Challenge: Ventilated Wheel

That is amazing, SO COOL. I love it. New to turning I have to shake my head on how much I have to learn!!!!!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing it with us.

In the picture, it looks SO BIG!
... then we find out that it is SO SMALL!

What are the Groove widths… 1/8” 1/4”??

So small…

That one side, with the small circles on it, must have been flopping around very WILDLY turning those little circles… Yes? Seeing a video of That process would be scary to watch… I presume…

COOL NICE piece…

Amazing…

-- Joe, Ga

Cool, looks almost Mayan.

-- Mike, an American living in Norway.

Wow, a lot of work!

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is its purpose? Does it have a function or is it Art?

-- "They don't want it perfect - they want it SPECIAL"

Looks very intricate, ergo., very complicated. I impressed.

Like the design of the wheel Jim, look impressive with the stand. Must have a go at doing a wheel some day.

-- Bob C, Australia. Your best teacher is your last mistake.

I agree with Joe Lyddon it looks larger than life!
In the smaller case, that was intricate work for an item that size.
It is beautiful.

-- "I never met a board I didn't like!"

Nice one Jim.

-- Grumpy - "Always look on the bright side of life"- Monty Python

you are getting bolder with this…keep t it. I haven’t made any in a long time..I made up so many designs I ran out of ideas I could produce.

What can I say Jim. You just got a compliment from the best!
For my humble two cents worth, WOW.

Another awesome trivet, very interesting that you made it on lathe, must be tricky this offset turning.

-- Ivan, Croatia, Wooddicted

When Jim and I looked at the first picture, I told him ‘We can’t do that on our lathes-it’s too big’. Surprised us both when reading how tiny it is! Tell me if I am understanding this correctly… You took a block about 2”X2”X4” and used the bandsaw to resaw it into 4 planks that you then edge-glued together and turned THAT panel? Are you going to try to ‘fix’ the inlay? Would you post a picture of the disc in your palm? Thanks for sharing! It is mind boggling!

-- God bless, Candy

I wont even ask how you did this I will just admire it and say well done .
